No communication at all. Had to follow order up twice. The driver dumped the delivery with no notice on the footpath and left. This company says ATL-AUTHORITY TO LEAVE means dump it anywhere. Cheap product, terrible customer service. Avoid at all costs. Not even worth my time trying to get a refund!
⭐☆☆☆☆ Extremely Disappointed – Poor Communication and Delays We ordered our shed over three weeks ago and were told it would take around two weeks to be made. Three weeks later, we’ve only just been told it was dispatched two days ago — and now we have to wait another 10 business days for delivery. Totally unacceptable. The lack of communication… Read more
throughout this whole process has been very disappointing. If I had known it would take this long, I would’ve gone elsewhere. Terrible customer service and not at all what was promised.
No refund for purchase within 4 days I went to Bunnings on 26/10/2025 for buying Absco shed. My wife told me that it is too heavy for her to carry to the trolley and to the car. Then we decided to shop the Absco shed online in the Bunnings store. Quickly we finalized the shed from the Simply Shed. After we wait for 4 days, no one contact us… Read more
via email or phone call about delivery information. Then I called the number 1300 667 748 and the reception lady told me that the shed will be shipped to me after 5 weeks!!!!! Then I asked full refund for the shed and I would to buy the shed from Bunnings directly (the stock is available) and the lady told me that there is no refund policy from Simply Shed. I asked she replied me by an official email and I would seek help from NSW FairTrading.

The shed I bought is good quality and relatively easy to assemble. I was very impressed that my request for a colour change after I had placed my order was processed quickly. If there is anything I would improve it would be an option for stainless steel pad bolts. The zinc plated ones don’t last out in the weather, I will be replacing mine. Other than that, it’s a really good product! Show reply

not a great company – i bought this shed 3 months ago had it installed by their listed contractor i will let the photos speak
Finally - A little extra storage space! – We like our small shed. Cant say it was ‘easy’ to erect, but we managed it eventually. I would estimate it took about 18 hours over a couple of weeks (including correcting our mistakes). The instructions were tricky to follow and we needed a power-drill and a rivet gun. Decided to buy a few stronger screws too. Show reply
Tidied up my backyard – Not easy for a first timer but I managed putting it together. Show reply
DID NOT RECEIVE OUR SHED. Shocking customer service and very unprofessional company – Simply Sheds were incompetent, poorly managed and extremely unhelpful to deal with. We are a small, 'Not for Profit' volunteer run Koala Shelter that rescues, cares and rehabilitates sick, injured and orphaned koalas. The shed was ordered and paid for but never arrived. Multiple calls did not result in them trying to trace our delivery, their… Read more
'team manager' was very rude, unhelpful and suggested 'we just cancel our order and get a refund.' We had already paid for a concrete slab to be laid and we were unable to find another shed of the same dimensions and had to frame and build one to size at significantly more cost, and weeks of labour. NOTE: The courier company eventually found the shed, with no receiver or sender details on it and no consignment details linked but it was too late.
WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DEALING WITH 'SIMPLY SHEDS!!!!!

Shed looks great after installation, easy to get in and out for storage. The installation is bit tricky due to unclear printing of parts numbers. There are so many small parts that need to go through. Other competitors send whole shed in 2-3 separate packs with doors and some channel assembled. Absco should simplify the installation process. Show reply
Great friendly customer service – I purchased a shed and it was awhile before getting around to try and put it up. I could not find some of the part numbers and contacted Michelle from simply sheds and the response was so customer friendly and nothing was a problem. They shipped a replacement shed and 4 days later I received it. I was going to battle on and try and work out the… Read more · 1
1st shed but they insisted on replacing it. Great old fashioned customer service which I thought had disappeared from society. A very pleased customer. Thanks again Michelle.
Great Customer Service – I found Simply Sheds to have one of the largest selections of sheds, competitive prices and free shipping. The ordering process online was seamless. The customer service team (in particular Michelle) were wonderful to engage with - very responsive and super friendly. I highly recommend Simply Sheds! Show reply

Ordered and paid for a shed on the 18/9 , Over a month later the shed has still not been delivered. It's now the 22/10 and according to their transport tracking it's been sitting in my capital city depot since the 7/10. Of course I rang customer service to see why they haven't delivered it on the 17/10 and they promised it would be sent ASAP. 5… Read more
days later and it's still sitting in the depot.
Could have driven 5 minutes down the road to Bunnings and bought it with trade discount right away.
Edit - shed was finally delivered on Saturday 25/10

Puchased a shed from simply sheds. Called customer service to see if I can change it. No issue about that but the lady I spoke to was so rude . She made to comment " normal customers read the information on the website " . Absolutely rude and disgusted with the attitude from customer service.

Terrible and rude so called lady on the phone when I called up to ask a few questions. She spoke really fast and I could not keep up with her , so when she stopped talking, I explained I didn't hear everything she said. She then said, "Tell me when you are ready to listen then". I ended up buying the same shed, size and colour, from Bunnings 10% cheaper than there price. I would recommend to stay away from this business.

Extremely Disappointed – Would Not Recommend This has been a very frustrating experience from start to finish. I ordered an Absco Regent Shed (3.00m W x 3.66m D x 2.30m H) in May, with delivery expected the following day—reasonable, given we're only 15 minutes away. The shed was picked up, and then… nothing. Nearly a week passed with no delivery… Read more
or update.
I contacted the freight company, only to be told to get in touch with Simply Sheds. From there, it turned into an endless game of phone and email tag for a day.
When the shed finally arrived, we began assembly—only to discover we were missing multiple parts, including essential panels. I contacted Simply Sheds again, and the response I got was: “Take pictures of the parts you have and email them through so we can see what you’re missing.” Seriously?
The lack of accountability, urgency, and basic customer service was shocking. I ended up returning the shed and getting a refund. I won’t be purchasing from this company again, and I strongly advise others to look elsewhere.

Disappointing Experience – Long Delays & Missing Parts -Not recommended at All I ordered a shed from this company, expecting a reasonable delivery time, but it took more than a month to arrive. When it finally did, some parts were missing, making it impossible to assemble. I contacted customer service, and they assured me the missing parts would… Read more
be sent soon. However, it took another full month before I finally received them.
The lack of communication and slow service was incredibly frustrating. A simple purchase turned into a two-month ordeal. If you’re looking for a smooth and reliable experience, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

I’d avoid, they’ve been little to no help – Ordered in November, came after Xmas, didn’t supply correct parts. Won’t be till Feb till they’re here at this rate. Extremely vague messaging, steer clear. The product is low grade and flimsy, no ability to walk on the patio which is important. Been sitting at depot for over a week with no updates, no real help either, they blame the shipping… Read more
company. I’m at my wits end and extremely angry. I’ve requested a partial refund for the delay. To nothing received. After this review I’m opening a case with the ombudsman for a full refund as I’m left with a hunk of half built crap…. and watch something happen…

DO NOT BUY! Missing pieces, terrible product – DO NOT BUY. We purchased a 3m x 3m shed and it was incredibly flimsy, screw holes didn't align and the screws have already started rusting. We were missing atleast 6 of the galvanised channel pieces which give the walls and roof pieces their 'rigidity'. On top of this there was also a piece of the Colorbond for the shed wall missing which means… Read more
that we couldn't complete the assembly of the shed. When we reached out to Simply Sheds they refused to replace the shed piece and instead we had to pay AN EXTRA $150 to have this single piece supplied and delivered to us. Horrific service but we had no other choice but to pay this amount in order to complete the shed.
Extremely disappointing and whatever you do, please look elsewhere if you are interested in buying any kind of storage shed.

They refused a negative review for their website – Bought a shed from these people. I was not impressed with the quality. They asked me to leave a review and wrote an honest review for their website. They did not publish it claiming it did not follow their guidelines. They did not say how exactly I breached their guidelines and I was careful to be honest and factual and polite. Very… Read more

Cheap flimsy crap – We ordered a shed from these people. It took weeks to come, when it did arrive it was plonked on my drive, my husband nearly ran over it as the box was that flat he nearly didnt see it. The quality of the shed is shocking, flimsy, crap frame, its basically like a kids cheap toy from Kmart. We paid over $600 for this piece or crap that we will… Read more
never use. I emailed the company and they replied with instructions on how to build it. Laughable, seriously.... DO NOT buy one of these sheds.

Satisfied. Michelle was very helpful – No problems with the delivery of the shed once it was collected, however if the shed was located in Acacia Ridge why would it take 10 working days to be delivered to Bribie Island? Show reply
They are out of touch with the reality – Spoken over the phone and was told that an item that costs $2,000 would be left in front of my house upon delivery with no signature. Really? What world you live in Simply Sheds? If you can’t arrange a delivery date as many others do and can’t collect signatures for an item that costs $2K, you should not be in business. Went elsewhere and bought the same item, same price, picked up by myself.

Usless – Waited and chased them up for dispatch date which we were given. That date passed with no communication. Chased them up again and told it would be a lot longer because of unavailable parts.

Good quality product – The supplier (Absco) originally sent an incomplete shed, which was returned and replacement sent which was a complete shed. Michelle at Simply Sheds customer service did a great job sorting out the problem for us. Now the shed is installed we are very happy with the product. Show reply
Terrible service - shed got ‘lost’ time – We ordered a shed 23/12. When we followed this up we were told it was lost and will resend. Told it’ll be 10business day. When follows up the second time I was told it was lost again. I was than told they can’t guarantee we will ever get it and we can’t collect it. Do not order from them it’s clearly a scam!

Great service but the product is a bit of a let down – The shed itself is useful and gives me the extra storage space that I need. I'm just a little annoyed at some of the final quality control; it's no use having a selling point of pre-drilled holes if your pre-drilled holes haven't been punched out and - worse - are pre-drilled in the wrong places. The manual is honestly terrible. The video on… Read more
YouTube was much more helpful if still not always great with things like left/right or top/bottom.
But no problem with the vendor at all. They have been fast and pleasant to deal with, and helped me get some advice directly from Absco about how to deal with parts that didn't fit, or match the manual.

Great shed from a great company – This is my 2nd shed from simply shed. When the courier was slow to deliver Michelle managed to get the delivery to regional NSW between Xmas and New Year. Very happy with the service. Show reply
No complaints – The shed fit the space perfectly. Once I got into a rhythm, the shed came together nicely. Don’t try and put it together on your own. It could be done but much easier with a second pair of hands. All in all, I love it. Show reply
